The function “continue shopping” navigates back to the online shop (see 2.1); where further articles can be chosen, “check out” navigates to the payment instructions within the ordering process. The payable sum will be calculated based on the latest content of the shopping cart. The client should always check the articles or quantities and make any updates prior to checking out.
